Quite good. But it could, and should have been better than this crap.
User Rating: 7.5 | Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 PC
Another review comes from me today on Friday, June 06, 2008. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit II is by no means fun to play and dosen't stray far from the old-school racing. It's like 2 games combined into 1. You get 2 career modes. Hot Pursuit and Championship. In the hot pursuit career, you have to race through the race tracks provided in NFSHP2 while evading the cops which adds up the excitement. You gotta give EA the credit for keeping this old-school feature. Split screen is gone for a good reason. Personally i think split screen modes should be played on consoles instead of PCs. In the beginning, you'll be driving low-end cars like the Lotus Elise. Watch out for the cops though. Get over the speed limit under their nose could get you into a chase. In the beginning, they'll be forgiving and just send a couple of Crown Victorias at you but refuse to pull over and they'll be less forgiving. In the Championship career, all you gotta do is just race. Easy as that. It wouldn't be surprising if it got harder as you advance through the career modes. You even get medals and points to unlock vehicles and tracks in NFSHP2. If that wasn't enough, the cars handling are quite realistic but sometimes you'll be encountering unrealistic stuff but who cares? XD.
But EA still screwed up. You don't get to be the cop in multiplayer anymore and the damage modelling is like YUCK! A few soundtracks also needs to be replaced as some of them just do not suit a racing game. But still, it's a great game and it's multiplayer has never failed to please everyone.
